SUMMARY!!!!


Ings - every chance this will go through

Vietto - talking to Atletico Madrid regarding replacing Griezmann

Heung Min Son (I suspect it would be very difficult to make happen as he seems very happy where he is and will be playing in the Champions League)

Carlos Vela (looked at recently but nothing more)

Aubameyang (looked at and there may be interest from Liverpool - he is keen on a move to Italy but the most interested side, Juventus, are now out of the running)

Gameiro (his stock is on the rise but Liverpool have had no recent contact (according to a representative of another interested club))

Baez (an update from last night - Liverpool have been told to say if they are still interested in Baez or not - and if they are to make an offer which is much improved over that offered to Juventud previously as there is growing interest from other clubs and they need to make their mind up)

Kishna (all English interest has gone or never materialised according to De Boer)

Lacazette (another English side met with Lyon about Lacazette and a number of other issues on April 9 and any move this summer, particularly to England, is not viable right now)

Firmino (he will most probably move to another English side who have had discussions with his club and put a couple of offers on the table)
Depay (moving elsewhere)

Bakkali (interest will have gone)

Andre Ayew (a free agent who Liverpool enquired about last summer - no obvious interest right now but it may return)

Walcott (if Sterling were to leave then a move for Walcott may be considered)

Cheryshev (if Sterling were to leave then a move for Cheryshev may be considered)

I would not be surprised if Liverpool looked at Higuain if he became available at the right price. Jese may well be available on loan - perhaps he could be considered?

Begovic (There is interest in Begovic from elsewhere but not at this time from Liverpool.)

Alvarado Arbeloa (There is no interest right now, so no.)

Aleksandar Mitrović (Offers everything Liverpool are missing - There is interest in Anderlecht's Aleksandar Mitrović from Manchester United, Swansea, Dortmund, Newcastle and Eintracht Frankfurt. The interest of Leicester and Bayern Munich seems to have gone, but Arsenal may just look again at the player - depending on which direction they wish to go given their first choice as opted to moved elsewhere. The interest from Manchester United is recent and ramping up I am told. Newcastle are likely not an option.)

Christian Benteke (I am not sure, I know we had interest in the past, before his injuries, I really hope we don't but it wouldn't surprise me if we had interest in a player so unsuited to our play.)

Iker Casillas ( I would doubt it but Casillas might yet be an expensive option for Arsenal or Liverpool, but he is certainly very keen on a move to England. Real Madrid will offer him an extension if they cannot bring in the goalkeeper they desire.)

Matteo Darmian (Interest, but not from Liverpool.)

Kovacic (As for Kovacic as I explained last week, Piero Ausilio, Inter's Sporting Director who was just entering a restaurant to discuss the transfer of the player, told a Spanish journalist that Liverpool had made a "funny little joke" with a €10M offer.)

Arda Turan (Ahmet Bulut continues to whip things up, but this time he is correct that Arda Turan will very probably be available to move in the summer - however it will take a bid of around €40M for any sort of deal to happen - plus very significant wages and plus Champions League football. Atletico Madrid have twice rejected offers from Schalke but the only club that has shown any real interest at this time is Galatasaray, and the cost would be an issue. Don't rule out interest from Bayern Munich or Manchester United at some point. Bulut has spoken with a number of sides about the player - and there remains aslim chance that Atrsenal could turn to Arda. Atletico will negotiate as they need the money for the summer with bids for Cavani and Vietto coming)

Milner ( I really don't know what Milner wants but he will look to his options. Liverpool remain very keen although it would not be a surprise if his wage demands were an issue.)

Hernanes (A little bit of a wild card, but here goes. Talks with Barcelona over Kovacic have not really come to any useful conclusion and no one seems interested in putting any sort of acceptable offer on the table for him Inter need to sell a couple of midfield players to bring in the replacements they want - like Liverpool they are constrained by previous spending and the FFP rules. So, Inter now say they will keep Kovacic as no deal seems possible, and will make another player available - so I will throw the name of Brazilian Hernanes in to the ring as a player Liverpool might well consider. I appreciate that at 30 he is far from young, but he would be a very worthy free kick taking, goal scoring central midfield addition to the squad - and one to ably replace Gerrard. He is available and will be at a price that would suit Liverpool.)

Matthew Ryan (last I heard, despite his desperation to get a move to Liverpool, it was not happening.)

And here is where we do believe there is interest:

GK: Patricio, Ochoa, Neto, Sportiello (unconfirmed to some extent as Atalanta and the player heard about the interest from an Italian journalist), Romero, Ruddy. The club have also looked at many others.

RB: I am not sure what will happen to Wisdom. I suspect a new deal for Flanagan but if Manquillo and Johnson both leave then the club will look for a new RB. If Rodgers remains as manager it is not out of the question that Ibe may be tried in a wing back role. Alternative is that Manquillo stays and RB is no longer a priority.

LB: Sam Byram has been watched.

CB: A new deal has been offered to Toure and he will be considering his options. I doubt a CB is a priority - at least not before the club clear out some of those already on the books (Skrtel, Lovren, Sakho, Ilori, Coates, Paez, Lloyd Jones and Kolo Touré).

MF: I understand from an ex-German international that Liverpool have watched Lars Stindl on more than one occasion this season but he has decided to reject the interest of Liverpool and will move to Borussia Mönchengladbach in the summer.

How about if we got Ings,mitrovic and hernanes!

Would that be a good window?

3 good players and wouldn't cost a lot of money

If I just could eds, an update regarding interest in
- Inigo Martinez?
- Petr Cech?
- Kasper Smeichel?
- Timo Horn?

Tried to find anything "new" when making the summary, but didn't find anything that would have satisfied the readers. ;-)

Have a great day every ed on here.

{Ed002's Note - No, there won't be anything new on these players.}
